No man can order his life . . .

(Deansgate Locks in Manchester by Mike Plunkett - found here)

“No man can order his life, for it comes flowing over him from behind. But if it lay before us, and we could watch its current approaching from a long distance, what could we do with it before it had reached the now? In like wise a man thinks foolishly who imagines he could have done this and that with his own character and development, if he had but known this and that in time.”
~George MacDonald
